I Gave My Life for You
April 1, 1994 l0:00a.m.
When you are troubled in thought, turn all your thoughts to Me. Focus on Me and My love for you. I, God, loved you so much that I suffered this brutal walk on Calvary and a horrid, brutal, suffering death. I loved you to My death. I love you, little ones.
R. I must focus on Jesus. If I begin to worry, I must think of His dying on the cross for love of me. I love Him so and want to serve Him.
The more I can make Him the focus of My life, the more I will act as He wants me to. I must see all my thoughts as thoughts that will render service to His love.
When I see my brothers, I must see them as Jesus, Who lives in them. If I see Jesus first, then I will not want to judge them or criticize them, but love them. I love Jesus. They are His most precious beloved ones, even if they are in darkness.
They all are brothers, His precious, loving children. If one member of my family were sick, I would love them more. He asks us to see them all as our brothers. We are all members in Christ's family. I must love my brothers who are hurting. I must act as He wants me to, to see them as my brothers in Christ, to see Christ first. To approach every person with love is His way.
He loves us all in our darkest sin. He loves us unconditionally. He tells us to love one another. I love my brothers, nice or not nice. But this is hard to do. I can only love as Jesus if I am totally in union with Him. I stay in union with Him after Communion and in front of the tabernacle. He gives me His love in abundance there. I am charged as a battery, charged with the love of God!
Jesus: This is My call: to love God and love one another. Love is action from your heart. When you operate, keep Me always in front of you, Me and My immense love for you! My love never wears out. There is never a shortage. I fill you to the brim. You come from a place of being loved and feeling good and you can give love to all of your brothers.
You are brothers in Me. I died for each and every soul. I want to save each and every person. I loved each and every person to My death. I walked the walk and My thoughts were for you. I thought of you and I endured such horridness out of My ardent love. Will you not love My beloved ones for Me?
You are My heart to this cold world. You will warm this cold world with My heart filled with love for all. Love My beloved ones for Me. Love every one of your brothers. Focus on Me first. Do not see their weaknesses. See only My great love for them. Trust them as your beloved brothers, hurting or not, and love them. You are My heart, you are My hands, you are My voice. You speak My love. Do not ever speak words of hate to My beloved ones. To My death I loved them and loved you. What you do to your brothers you do to Me. See Me, love Me in your brothers. This is My commandment: love God and love one another.
I showed you the way. I gave My life for you. I loved those who persecuted Me and beat Me. Love is the only way. Focus on Me, My child, focus on Me. In your every thought, let all your actions flow only as they serve Me. Focus on Me first when you see your brothers. You are being taught by God Himself. This is My way. I loved you to My death. Can you not love My hurting ones for Me?
